A quick guide to ute and truck finance
Need a dual-cab for the family and the job site, or stepping up to a full-size truck for towing? A ute or truck loan lets you buy now and spread the cost into manageable repayments over 1–7 years. You keep your savings intact while getting the capability you want — payload, towing, 4x4, accessories — right away.
Lenders look at your income, credit history and the vehicle’s age/value to size the loan and set the rate. Newer vehicles (including RAM 1500/2500, Ford F-150/F-250 and Silverado) can unlock sharper pricing and longer terms; older models are still financeable with slightly different limits. The right structure makes the difference between a stretch and a comfortable fit.

Pick the structure that fits your budget and ownership plans:
What can you use ute and truck finance for?
Tailor your finance to how you actually use your vehicle — weekday workhorse, weekend adventure or both.
Work & Trades
Finance a HiLux, Ranger, BT-50, D-MAX or Triton fitted with trays, canopies, ladder racks and drawers so you can carry tools safely and stay organised.
Family Dual-Cab
Get a safe, roomy dual-cab with ISOFIX and modern safety tech — perfect for school runs and weekend trips.
Off-Road & Touring
Step up to a 4x4 build with suspension, bull bar, tow kit and snorkel — or go full touring spec for the Big Lap.
Towing Power
Need serious tow capacity for a boat, caravan or car trailer? Consider full-size trucks like RAM 1500/2500, F-150/F-250 or Silverado.
Lifestyle & Recreation
Mountain bikes, surfboards, camping gear — set up your rig for the hobbies that make weekends worth it.
Replacement Vehicle
Upgrade from an unreliable ute into something safer, stronger and more efficient without a big upfront hit.
Case Study
Alex & Priya
Alex & Priya step up to a RAM 1500—power for the 3.5t van, payments that fit
Challenge: Towing a 3.5-tonne caravan safely meant stepping beyond their old ute, but Alex and Priya didn’t want repayments derailing the household budget.
Solution: A secured, fixed-rate 5-year loan funded 90% of a low-km RAM 1500, with tow package, brake controller and canopy bundled at settlement.
Emu Money compared multiple lenders and they chose a sharp fixed rate with one consolidated repayment. The result was a calmer, more capable tow rig and a calendar full of longer trips—no giant deposit, no surprises, and monthly costs that stay comfortably on track.
How much can you borrow?
Loan sizes typically range from $10,000 to $150,000+. New utes and full-size trucks can often be financed up to 100% of the purchase price (subject to profile and lender policy). Used vehicles are usually capped at 80–90% of value.
Terms run 1–7 years. Shorter terms mean higher monthly repayments but less interest overall; longer terms keep repayments lower but increase the total interest paid. We’ll help you find the balance that fits your budget.

Balance over time
Are you eligible for ute and truck finance?
Lenders want to see that the repayments fit comfortably alongside your other bills. They’ll consider your income, employment stability, credit history and bank-statement health. The vehicle matters too — newer utes and trucks (including RAM, F-Series and Silverado) often attract sharper rates and longer terms, while older models may come with lower maximum LVRs and shorter terms.
If your credit isn’t perfect or you’re self-employed, there are still options. Specialist lenders may offer flexible policies so you can get into the right vehicle without unnecessary hurdles.
You may be eligible if you are:
An Australian resident aged 18+
Earning a regular income (PAYG or self-employed)
Able to provide recent bank statements or payslips
Buying an eligible new or used ute/truck from a dealer, auction or private seller
How to apply for ute and truck finance
Apply online in a few minutes, upload your documents, and we’ll do the legwork. We’ll compare lender offers, explain the differences, and manage settlement with the seller so pickup is smooth.
Documents you may need:
Driver’s licence or passport
Recent payslips or bank statements
Employment/ABN details
Vehicle details (VIN, rego, invoice/quote) — plus accessory quotes if you’re bundling fit-outs
How to save money on ute and truck finance
Look beyond the headline rate. Secured loans usually price sharper than unsecured. A balloon can cut monthly repayments but leaves a lump sum at the end — set the balloon to align with expected resale value. Newer vehicles often qualify for better pricing and longer terms. Bundle accessories (tow kits, canopy, tray, bull bar) at settlement so they’re financed at the same competitive rate. And always check fees and early-repayment policies to avoid bill-shock later.
Example: Balloon impact — $55,000 over 60 months at 8.19% p.a.:
| Balloon | Approx. Monthly Repayment | Notes |
|---|---|---|
$0 | $1,121 | Highest monthly cost |
10% ($5,500) | $1,009 | Lower monthly cost |
20% ($11,000) | $898 | Balance of cost vs cash flow |
30% ($16,500) | $787 | Lowest monthly cost; plan for resale/refinance |
Ute and truck loan options explained
These features change cost, flexibility and risk — pick what suits how you use your vehicle:
Secured vs Unsecured
Secured loans use the vehicle as collateral for sharper pricing. Unsecured loans can be faster and more flexible but usually cost more.
Fixed vs Variable
Fixed keeps repayments steady. Variable can move with the market — potential savings if rates fall, higher costs if they rise.
Balloon Payments
Lower your monthly cost by deferring a lump sum to the end. Make sure resale value or savings can cover it.
Early Repayment Flexibility
Some lenders allow extra repayments or early payout with little/no penalty — a simple way to save interest.
Fees & Charges
Check establishment, monthly and exit fees. The total cost is rate + fees + how long you hold the loan.

The process with Emu Money has been fantastic — completely stress-free. Thank you EMU Money I cannot thank the team enough. Having been given an opportunity to get a loan when my bank turned us away. The service team has been absolutely brilliant. When you've become used to waiting times of an hour or more with other companies - I don't think I have waited more than a couple of minutes for this team. Plus, their phone staff are so nice to deal with. Great job. I just had to acknowledge it.
